Chateau de la Maltroye, Chassagne Montrachet Rouge 1er Cru Clos du Chateau Monopole 2022 (1x75cl)

An equally ripe yet slightly fresher nose blends notes of spice, pepper and earth with those of red currant, plum and a very subtle suggestion of wood. There is even better verve to the seductively textured, if not especially dense, medium-bodied flavors that possess evident minerality, all wrapped in sappy, lingering, dusty and youthfully austere finish that is the most structured in the range. Excellent with fine development potential.
